Zoya Pixie Dust

Hi ladies! I'm finally back! Again. ;) Don't worry, I have lots of things drafted. I just need to get them finished up. Perfect for my "vacation!" I have a few days and I'm planning on catching up with all the photos I already have lined up.

What I have for you today is something you've seen a lot of lately. Zoya sent me their brand new Pixie Dust shade to review! I was super excited about these after OPI came out with their liquid sands and they were amazing. How did I feel about them after receiving them, though? Let's find out!

Godiva

Godiva is a classy nude shade that reminds me of a "sandy" version of Jacqueline that came out with the Lovely collection. It actually looks great on my skintone, and I'm wondering when I can wear it! Unfortunately, it takes 3+ coats to be fully opaque, but I imagine it could be layered quite successfully.

Vespa

This is a sage green beauty that I LOVE! It isn't quite as "dusty" as other sages we've seen from Zoya lately, making it perfect for me. Vespa also required 3 coats to full coverage.

Nyx

One of the favorites that I was sent to review, Nyx is a gorgeous periwinkle shade that contains silver glitter like the rest I've showed. In natural lighting it shows more blue, but actually leans more to the purple side on my skin tone. Love! This one took three coats as well.

London

I like to think of this as being named after one of my gorgeous nieces. Her name is London as well, and she was born in October. Her Mommy has been waiting for this shade ever since it was announced! I feel like the color represents a stormy day in London, dark and gray, but still gorgeous! London could almost use two coats, but I ended up with three.

Dahlia

First of all, can I comment that I am so happy they finally named a polish Dahlia? I LOVE that name! Ok. Moving on. This was only one of two in this set that I'm reviewing that doesn't require three coats. Dahlia is a simple black with silver glitter.

Chyna

Finally, we have my favorite of the review sample pack, Chyna! I think I like this so much because, despite being a red, it is the only polish with glitter matching the base color. No silver in here! I used two coats to get to the rich red that you see in the bottle.

The formula on these polishes was pretty incredible. Some of them were a little sheer, but I had no problems with bald spots, streakiness (is that possible with pixies?), or any other issues. They all built up well by three coats. I've seen some gorgeous gradients using these, I just haven't been able to reproduce them yet! I'm just SO bad at nail art! LOL I am very glad I chose to accept samples to review and I can see me wearing at least half the shades quite a bit!

In related news, Zoya is coming out with a Summer Pixie Dust collection! They are all bright and amazing colors, so I'm super excited for those too! Here are the first pictures of these:

Don't they look incredible?? They look like most of them may be like Chyna, with glitter that matches the base. If so, I will be DYING over these!

Sorry if this post sounds a little disjointed. We all know by now that the FTC is require bloggers to inform readers in several places throughout the post that things were sent for review. I'm not sure how I will make that sound better in the future, but it is what it is.

That being said, the Spring Pixie Dust shades are available for $9 (yes, a one dollar hike from regular Zoya products) at zoya.com. The Summer sets are available for preorder and will be shipping prior to April 15th. Are you going to pick any up?? Let me know, and thanks for reading!
